				<p>Upon opening Transmission for the first time, a Mac OS X dialog box should appear asking if you will allow Transmission to receive incoming connections. Click Accept.
				<p>If this doesn't happen, you can add Transmission to the firewall manually:
					<div summary="To do this" id="taskbox">
						<ol>
							<li>Open System Prefs -> Security -> Firewall. Make sure "Set access for specific services and applications" is selected.</li>
							<li>Click the "+" button and select Transmission from your Applications folder. </li>
							<li>Make sure the pull down menu is set to "Allow incoming connections".
						</ol>
